Re: Remembering that our old toys actually exist!
Tripredacus Tripredacus gets my vote for one of the most coherent combiners ever. The individual bugs all look like... well, they look like the bugs that they're supposed to look like. The individual robots are all great too. All that sort of ball-jointed, weird looking Beast Wars-sy goodness, and ...

Re: Which of Your Transformers can pull off the best "Naruto Run"?
You at least need the pacifier bot . Yes I do. :eek: Do you still use a dedicated camera, or do you have a smart phone? I haven't used a stand-alone digital camera since getting the latter because the picture quality for what I need (taking pictures of cats and robots) is more than enough. I know s...

Re: Remembering that our old toys actually exist!
Looking at secondary market prices now, a lot of my beast wars stuff is really like a dragon's hoard... Only increasing in trade value, but I'll never part with it without being slain by adventurers, lol.

Re: Hound's backlog
It's a relaxing, zone-out kind of game. I really enjoy it.
Saaades, make him play it. Make him. Then he will know how relaxing it is!

Re: Hound's backlog
Yeah, that's basically what my confusion has always been. I never really knew it was distinct console from the Wii until the Switch came out and I read some about it. I mean, I saw the games in the stores, but I guess I figured it was a beefed up or streamlined version or something of the thing I al...

Re: Remembering that our old toys actually exist!
I like your Insecticon/Scarem repaint! Is it just the green parts you painted? https://i.imgur.com/2bV3cJu.jpg This picture is great! Manterror is so much fun. It's weird, but it really feels like they deliberately chose the least interesting toys to feature in the first season of the TV show. So ma...

Hooray, enthusiasm! I understand the rushing urge to DO ALL THE THINGS, but I know we (myself, SCSW, and others) have already been through that phase. We've dialed it back to a rough plan that's both actionable and within the knowledge base of what we know how to do and what the website and forum le...

Site content and community revitalization project
Hello all, Over the course of the pandemic, I know I have, like so many others, been cooped up in the house with the internet being my primary mechanism for social interaction. As terrifying as that sounds, it has given me some time to reflect on our little forum here and how we've gone about updati...

Re: POST YOUR NEWEST ACQUISITIONS!
The relatively weightlessness doesn't bother too much, but it's incredibly short for a deluxe. There's maybe 80% of the plastic there would have been in an equivalent figure a few years ago, Longer term, it's much worse than that. Took this pic today to show the point. $20 in 2004 versus $20 in 202...

Re: Revisitation: The IDW Original Continuity Retrospective.
Issue #6 and mini series thoughts: I liked how threats have been scaled throughout the mini series. The initial duo being Runabout and Runamok vs a single autobot and some human kids frames them as quite frightening, shortly thereafter overshadowed by Skywarp and Blitzwing being actually effective a...

Re: Remembering that our old toys actually exist!
Oddly enough with Mindwipe, it's not the soft rubber parts that make the wing tips. It's the hard plastic on that hinge that's fragile. I know mine broke on one wing, but not other.
It is, however, quite fixable at least.

Re: Remembering that our old toys actually exist!
Titans Return Mindwipe, and Wolfwire. Careful with these. Weirdwolf's basically guaranteed to have a part break around the cockpit, though it's mostly cosmetic because the piece is made of two different materials. Mindwipe's wings may also become very fragile over time, though it's not clear what p...

I never gave an update on my doctor appointment! Because I'm still waiting!
